Sorry Steve, but if there is a racial bigot, it is clearly you. You were the one with the highly creative mind who took a reference to a guy washing a boat and turned it into a racial epithet. You're a sick individual. I certainly did not come here to sling arrows. Perhaps someone like yourself, who cries foul at the drop of a hat, who goes out of his way to be overly "politically correct," even when it means combing through internet posts with a fine-toothed comb, looking, hoping, seeking some strange definition so you can cry foul...perhaps you need to get a life. Or submit your resume to the Geraldo show...believe me, you'd fit right in. The only way you could possibly interpret my post as being "racial bigotry" is if you were one yourself. Are you friends with David Duke by any chance? By the way, if I, in ANY way, contributed to driving you away from "contributing to this thread," than I call that a positive development. Give me your address and I'll send you a box of hankies...you can cry and whine over my "heartless bashing" of the government's vast waste of money in retrieving dead bodies and CNBC's minute-by-minute coverage of JFK Jr. while you drivel over your framed People Magazine photo of JFK. Sorry, chief, I pay taxes every quarter and I get a little pissed when Bubba Bill blows my quarterlies on retrieving dead bodies at the same time he sends military men to die in Kosovo. And I also get a little hacked off when I pay DirecTV $50 a month to see Alina Cho canonize JFK Jr., as well as Hillary (P.S. "canonize" means induct into sainthood...I didn't want you to take another of my statements that you could not interpret and turn around and cry foul with racism). Let me guess, you're an attorney, aren't you?!! Again, get a life. By the way, your post was very much OFF TOPIC, and therefore a Term of Use violation. However, since I have more than one thin layer of skin, I will refrain from reporting you. Were you beat up quite a bit as a child? Tell your buddy Mr. Duke hello. Gary

Oh Steve, here's a flash bulletin for you. After CNN saw your shameless-yet-baseless attack on me, they called and wanted me to pass this message onto you: YOU'RE HIRED! They said they particularly admired your ability to take a mundane event (a simple internet post) and transform it into a fire-rod. You are merely days away from rubbing elbows with folks just like you. Believe me, Steve, these people actually DIG people like yourself who can take nothing and transform it into a liberal agenda. There are only two drawbacks to this development: 1.) You'll have to pull yourself away from that fireside event where you and several other know-nothings gather around to nitpick the inequities in life, while singing "Koombaya." 2.) You won't ever be able to post on SI with any dignity. Well, come to think of it, that had nothing to do with your new job at CNN. That was a function of you posting such a stupid, racially- motivated post on this thread. Nice try...perhaps your schtick works for goofs like Geraldo and Rev. Al Sharpton, but mainstream America sees you as The Problem. Didn't your mom and dad teach you ANYTHING? The good news is, of course, your lifetime dues to the JFK, Jr. Admiration Society, as well as that dubious clan known as "Anti-Mensa" (people with zero IQ) are paid in full. As I said earlier, send me your address and I'll gladly reimburse you for the Kleenex you used while crying over my JFK Jr posts. Yer pal, Gary
